I haven't written in a while, I've been too busy to even think! Luckily it has slowed down some recently. The event that kept me most busy was my brother's wedding on September 13th! It was a beautiful day that really made me proud of my little brother. I loved seeing his childhood best friends all grown up in a tux. I finally got to visit their apartment for the first time on Friday night, and it seems like they're really off to a great start. I love them!

My classes are pretty amazing. I look forward to getting on campus and seeing everyone for the day and getting down to business! I feel like just in the few weeks that have passed this fall so far that I have learned more than I have in any other semester. I'm amazed at the passion teacher educators have and it really solidifies my passion for agriculture education. I have had ideas arise from almost every conversation in my education classes that I know I can use in my career.

Things have started rolling on Ag. Council! I have an amazing group of officers that I know will exceed my expectations. I feel like sometimes I have so many ideas that I can't pin it all down, but I could not be more grateful for having this responsibility during my senior year so that I can try to leave on a positive note. I just hope through things like Raiderfest and Ag. Ambassadors that I can help just one future MTSU find their home in our department like I did. I can't imagine being anywhere else.

I have also begun a new venture as a BeautiControl consultant! I haven't hosted any spas yet, but I am building my list and my inventory and spa supplies. I had so much fun hosting the spa for Amanda's bridal shower that I really wanted to be able to help other people experience that much fun, too. My training is on October 11 and I get the second part of my spa kit. I'm excited!

Today I bought a $4.95 ticket to see one of my heroes, Rudy Guiliani, at the Sommet Center in Nashville in about a month. I was reading the Sunday paper and saw this ad for a motivational seminar, featuring people like Pat Summit, Collin Powell!, and of course my favorite, Rudy. I couldn't believe that it was only $4.95, so I immediately when to the website (before finishing breakfast) and saw that somehow it was true. I also bought the $4.99 workbook that goes along with the day. It looks amazing and I'm glad I by chance saw it. It's like America's Leadership, In Concert. I'm such a dork for things like this, but I can't wait. I'm sure I can learn things to help Ag. Council work more efficiently, and also things I can teach my future officer teams.

So basically my life is amazing!
